High School Faces Fight Over Satan Reference
Attorney General Reviewing Policy

HONOLULU -- Kaimuki High School's dress code came under fire Tuesday
from a member of the Church of Satan. 
The dress code singles out clothing and accessories that promote
Satanism. 

The head of Citizens for the Separation of State and Church said the
school's policy violates free speech provisions in the Constitution. 

KITV 4 News saw piercings, dyed hair and bare midriffs. However, the
school's written policy states the following are not allowed in
classrooms: gang-related clothing, or clothing promoting alcohol,
tobacco, profanity, or Satanism. 

"Just simply labeling it as Satanist is inappropriate. It singles out
one religion over others and you can't do that under the Constitution,"
Mitchell Kahle of CSSC said. 

The head of Citizens for Separation of State and Church said the
complaint came from a member of the Church of Satan who works at the
school. The person was offended by the policy but wants to remain
anonymous. 

Most students KITV 4 News talked to said they don't know any Satanists
at the school but support the right of religious expression.

"Satanism, believe it or not, it is a religion. People actually believe
it. It's a way of life so if you can wear a shirt that says Jesus loves
you, you should be able to wear a shirt that has a pentagram on it,"
Kahle said. 
"If people are allowed to wear bracelets that say: 'What Would Jesus
Do,' they should be allowed to say: 'What would Satan do,'" 10th grader
Ashley Williams said. 

But not all agreed with questioning the policy, saying some clothing is
disruptive. 

"We go to school to learn, not to, like, it's not like a fashion show,"
senior Alice Kim said. 

Department of Education spokesman Greg Knudsen said the attorney
general's office is reviewing the policy. 

As a result of Tuesday's complaint, the reference to Satanism in the
dress code policy will be taken out. 

It's already been deleted from the school's Web site. However, it's
unclear how many hard copies of the policy exist with the Satanism
reference and how those will be deleted.
